I’m Thankful for…..

Posted on January 9, 2014August 6, 2016

Today I’ve been thankful for one on one time with my little man.

BooBoo

As much as I love Emmy it has been lovely having her at school all day today. Don’t get me wrong I miss her dearly when she is gone but on a Thursday for 6 hours I get to spend quality time with Harry.

This is something we lack.

It happens with all second children I’m sure, I remember spending hours with Emmy when she was small building towers, playing and spending quality time together.

Today with Emmy at school I went into town as I had banking to do (finally I’m getting around to opening Harry a bank account), I then popped to the shops to get the rest of Emmy’s birthday presents while Harry napped in the buggy.  He woke as we arrived home (after a nice long hour and a half sleep). 

When we arrived home Harry and I had a lovely play session:

  • Books were read
  • Towers built
  • Cars played with
  • Instruments banged and crashed
  • Songs sung
  • We kissed
  • Cuddled
  • Had lunch quietly together

It was a lovely afternoon.

Jobs waited, washing stayed in the machine and the hooving will be done tomorrow.

Today was our day and it was fun.

I’ve linked up with Adventures of a Monkey Footed Mummy in her Thankful Thursday Linky.  Do pop over to see what others are thankful for.

    He's such a little cutie! I know exactly what you mean I have two little lads and I try my hardest to spend some quality alone time with both. x

      Thank you. We both loved 'our' time. I'm going to ensure we spend time together properly each week ignoring chores and having fun.

    Ahh must be lovely to have that quality time together. There only us and Littke Z at the moment but I can imagine it'd get hard with two
